An introduction from Heather:

My name is Heather Klassen Grismer, and I am excited to be teaching the Crafty Kids Program at Nicola Valley Art Council this year.  Art has always been a big part of my life, and it all stemmed from my mother and her encouragement as a child to be playful and creative with the materials that you have in your hands.  This could be a beach filled with rocks, shells, and driftwood, to a blank piece of newsprint and a piece of charcoal.  She taught me that art is there to create everywhere you choose, and the greatest joy is found in the process of creating it.  I am looking forward to creating a space where kids can explore and experience different mediums while learning about some basic foundations of art along the way.
